Birthday Letter

You are effortlessly cool — the kind that doesn’t perform, doesn’t chase attention, yet still owns every room. Beautiful in a way that feels dangerous. Rare in a way people don’t forget.

I loved you like fire loves oxygen — intensely, honestly, without trying to cage it. Not to control you, not to claim you, but to witness you burn the way you were meant to.

If one day you choose someone else, if your path bends away from mine, that is not loss. Love was never possession — it was recognition.

You were never meant to be held tightly. You are a free bird. A sudden flame. Something that changes people just by passing through.

And if you ever fall in love — with me or with the world — let it be with someone who understands what it means to stand close to fire without trying to own it.
